Hey guys.

I have a problem with my 1994 Honda Accord US Wagon. The rear lights have blown a fuse, now its a 15amp fuse and it also is the fuse for the speedo cluster. So when it blow it does the rear lights and the cluster..interesting enough the brake lights still work.

I have replaced the fuse but eveytime I do that I turn the lights on and it blows...I even put a higher amp fuse in for a test (I know, I shouldnt have) and that blew to. Any ides on what it could be???

Cheers for ya time

If it blows when you turn the lights on, you have a short in the light circuit. You need to check the wiring all the way from the switch to the lights themselves. It could be a pinched wire, maybe pierced by a screw. Check for any exposed wire strands that could be touching metal. Another possiblility is that the switch itself has a short to ground.
